in the house, although Mr. H.itterson
(Democrat) of Tennessee, In charge of
the railroad pooling bill, has given notice
that he will aak the house to vote upon
Its passage Tuesday afternoon, the fate
of the bill primarily depends upon the
action of the appropriation committee.
If the urgent deficiency bill, which the
committee Is now working upon, shall
be ready to report to the house when It
meets on Tuesday Chairman Sayres says
he will present It then and urge Imme
diate consideration. It Is believed that
such a request will be seconded by the
house and the pooling bill will be laid
aside. But If the appropriation bill shall
not be ready, a vote on the pooling bill
may be taken Tuesday, and the general
opinion is that It will pass, possibly so
amended as to give the Interstate com
merce commission Anal Jurisdiction of the
proposed contracts between companies
Tomorrow, under the rules, is to be de
voted to the consideration of affairs of
the District of Columbia, and unless the
rules are suspended, as they frequently
have been on like occasions, local legis
lation for Washington city will be taken
up.
Mr. O’Neill (Democrat) of Massachu
setts has announced his Intention to call
up Wednesday the pension appropriation
bill for 1896-96. This will evoke discus
sion of the ponslon policy of »..*e admin
istration and may occupy the time of the
house for more than a day. in* that
case It will meet the antagonism of Mr.
Brown (Democrat) of Indiana, chairman
of the committee on elections, who will
Thursday ask consideration of the* Y.il-
Uams-Settle contested election case from
the Fifth North Carolina district, which
came over by agreement from last ces-
slon. The committee’s report favors thr
sitting member, Bottle, who Is a Republi
can. Contested election cases are mat
ters of highest privilege and it has been
the custom or the house to take them up
when called for by the committee, so
that if the pension bill Is not previously
disposed of It will probably have to yield
the right of way for the time being.

Minneapolis, Minn., Dec. 9.—Still an
other confession has been made In the
Catherine Glng murer case. ■ It has been
the theory of the police that C. A. Bltxt,
tho engineer of the Ozark flats, where
both Miss ding and Hayward resided,
committed the murder at the Instigation
of Hayward. Today Bltxt broke down
and made a complete confesslon.ln which
he charges Harry Haywward with com
mitting the murder. According to hts
story, he was sent by Hayward to the
scene of the murder. Hardly had he ar
rived there when Hayward drove up with
Miss Glng. When within fifty feet of
him tho shots were fired and Hayward
alighted from the buggy.
"The deed Is done," he said. "Get In
and drive It around until it Is dead and
then dump it out."
Bltxt took Hayward's place In the bug
gy and drove along the road for « mile
until he became satisfied that Miss Glng
was dead. Then t he drove back, and
when near the place where the murder
was committed he rolled the body in the
robe and drove the horse about a mile
until he -reached the Lyndate avenue car
line. Then he turned the animal loose
and rode tn a car down town. The horse
went directly to the stable and this was
the first Intimation any one received that
anything wa* wrong. The murder, ac
cording to Btlxt, was committed shortly
after 7 o'clock, and as soon as he got
into the buggy Hayward walked to the
Hennepin avenue car line and then‘took
the daughter of a prominent lawyer to
the theatre. ,
Bltxt claims that the murder wa* orig
inally fixed for the preceding Sunday
night, but circumstances were such that
it had to be abandoned. Hayward was
to "slug" Miss Glng with a piece of rail
road Iron which Bltxt had provided, the
body was to have been thrown out near
the curb at a street corner, the horse
turned loose and the buggy wrecked for
the purpose of giving color to the theory
that the woman was killed In a runaway
accident. This plan, so Btlxt says, could
not be carried' out successfully and It
was decided to shoot her.
Bltxt tells of several other Jobs f.-hlch
had been proposed by Hayward, hut
which fell through, and says that after
this Job. for which ho was to receive
12,000 and one-fifth of the life Insurance
Involved, ha waa to receive $400 for
“doing" a Chicago man.

Col. Robert O. Oleott of London was
the guest of the Chester Club of Phil
adelphia the even'ng when the subject
for discussion happened to bo our great
men. And as Col.O loott'a mission to
th a country was to Investigate the his
tory of the different types of great
Americans, he was called upon to re
spond. “I will respond to the physl-
ckiiis," said tho oolonel in his English
brogue.
''My Idea, gentlemen, of a great phy
sician Is a physician who is capable
and who doe* great .tirngs, a man of
great originality, quick in perception,
cool In demeanor, strong in his conv’c-
tions, forcible in the presentation of his
belief and unbiased by sectarian preju
dice, whether It bo In medicine, religion
or politcs. Tho physician I refer to
Is oorta'inly a wonderful physician ns
well as n remarkable personality.
‘‘He seems to possess a great Intui
tion. which rambles him tn d’nannsn ell
discuses nnci describe these diseases
Without being told anything and with
out asking any questions better than
tbe patient can tell him. I have seeu
him in more them twenty cases bi nd-
folded, and In this condition tell every
person their discuses in deta l without
asking a question. Oonsequeotly, when
he doctor* a pat.ent he doctors him for
uie right cllseaai* iMtsead of experiment-
ing with him. I have seen him more
tuan a dozan times wh.lo thoroughly
tallnrttoldod read n book as readily ns
If be had the use of his eye*. I don'.t
protend to say how he does these things
for I don't know, but I do know that
he does thorn.
"He examine* thousands of sick peo
ple every year, and tells eaoh and every
one their trouble without asking a ques-
t'on. Now it tk-oms to me that a man
who oun rend the tnafde of o sick per
son ns he would an open book without
asking any questions is far more ca
pable of treating the patient than tha
doctor -who has to guess at the d sense
from what Uie patient may toll him.
‘Tho gentleman I refer to Is Dr. R.
C. Flower of Boston, Mass. You havo
all licurd of him many times. He has
thousands of patients under his care.

has cured or I* curing them, and that
he told thorn lite r disease without ask

"The physician who took Antonio
Casenero, the Cuban prince, and bis
wife to see Dr. R. C. Flower in 1883,
deser bed to me the first interview be
tween Dr. Flower nnd the prince's
fe: '.You need not tell mo anything,’
•aid the doctor as he took the woman's
hand In his and looked directly into her
eyes for a minute. 'It * my opinion,'
said the dodtor slowly, ‘that you were
bftton by a vicious cat some years ago
and anno very near losing your lifo
from the Injury’- Shortly after this oc
curred you roco’ved a blow on your left
breast. Soon a lump appeared. This
in time was pronounced a cancer and
yob had It cut out. It soon returned
With tour or flvo other growths, and
are under the amt. You have bad at
least Cwo, and I believe three opera
tions. Your case is now oinsldercd by
phjnt'dsor generally as Incurable.’
•You are right In every particular,'
arid tflo woman, ‘but for God's sake
how did you know these things?’
‘Never mind how I know them. I geo
yen now have seven or eight growths
coming n the breast around the edges
where ibo operations were performed
and two under the arm. Your disease
has now reached a state where you are
In constant suffering.' Without delay
the doctor filled a hypodermic needle
whit * mixture of laches's, perman
ganate of potash, thymol and refined
green tincture of sttufnger, and made
an lnjdottoo Into each growth.
These Infections he reapeated every
third day for three week*, when every
trace of tho cancerous growths were
gone. He treated tho system constitu
tionally for eight month* from which
time Mr*. Caoeaero has enjoyed per
fect health.
The minister to the Unit’d State*
from one of the leading South Ameri
can republics told my worthy friend
on the loft that he believed Dr. R. C.
Flower of Boston wa* Inspired of God
to cure the sick wfzcn alt other effort*
failed; that he and hi* family were pa-
Uenta of Dr. R. C. Flower, and hi*
treatment of their core* was mtracu
lots. I hold In my band a. letter from
the late ex-Governor Bishop of Ohio, In
which he says: "If mireoien have ever
been performed tn modem time* then
Df. R. C. Flower of Boston perform*
them dally. I have seen him examine
scores of patient* without asking a
question and tell each one In detail
his trouble. I have seen men and wo
men etek unto death with cancer* *nd
tumors, after given up by tha leading
medical skill of this country; cured by.
Dr. R. C. Flower In it short time with-
out the knife, without pi In and with
